If something is (really) hard to do is very often just an indication
that one is doing something completely wrong
;-)

In that specific case it is absolutely trivially to achive (indeed each
and every gerrit user wants and expects that behaviour):
1. turn off dev ML firehose
2. subscribe to watched project in gerrit
3. done

Quoting something I sent out re this the other day to the list of ESC attendees:

"At least in my understanding, firehosing information from gerrit to the ML was not only intended for the advanced reviewer crowd, but also for relative newcomers to the project, where the idea is that the discussion of other people's patches on the ML gave them a sense of how we treat those newcomers' patches, give them opportunity to pick up advice by osmosis, etc. (Whether or not that is what the average newcomer actually made use of the existing ML traffic.)

"But anyway, you win a little, you loose a little, there's no setup perfect for all."
